Celebrity Antiques Road Trip

This programme is not to be taken too seriously. I'm not usually keen on Celebrity versions of successful shows but find this one OK depending on the combination of expert and celebrity. The right participants can be very entertaining.

Tim Wonnacott might not be to everyone's taste but his pun laden commentary saves us from some of celebrities who think too much of themselves - I like him.

There are several problems with this show. First it should be just 30 minutes, not stretched out over an hour. The only really interesting part is what the chosen antiques sell for at auction, which is usually only the last 15 min of the show. Second, like a lot of so called celebrity shows, most of the stars are not A listers, but a bunch of has been/never were TV presenters etc. Without a script most actors/ celebrities are not funny or interesting, just watch them on talk shows where they have little to talk about except where they went on vacation(yawn). If they cannot go to the trouble to come up with an interesting anecdote from their latest project, why come on a talk show? To push their latest book/ movie/ show, but come on, think a little bit about something interesting before you get there. So... this show has way too much of unknown and uninteresting celebrities before finally getting to the auctions. There are many other more interesting auction shows than this.
